I don't see why they can't wrap bikes, its done a lot with cars and vans, just need to make sure the wrap is good quality else it will fade quickly

I found a company that will pick up ur bike, wrap it and bring it back, looks really good, might get the SV done. Depending on price obviously

These guys don't pickup or deliver your bike but they will wrap your bike at their premises. Worth a look.

If you are going to have this done make sure whichever company you pick uses pre cut patterns that are cut before they are applied to the bodywork, I have seen quite a few of these applications installed on cars I have worked on and it's scary how many installers apply a sheet to the panel then use a very sharp blade to shape the sheet on the panel and scratch/cut the paint work in the process, plus it never looks as neat as a laser cut pattern.
